Mobile operator Jamii Telecom’s (JTL) proposal last year to have payment of spectrum fees to the Communications Authority of Kenya spread out over a 10-year period sailed through following Parliament’s approval of an amendment contained in the miscellaneous Bill that was assented in January.
The amendment of the Kenya Information and Communications Act (KIC 1998) now allows the Authority to permit companies, where Kenyans hold a majority stake of at least 51 percent, to pay licence fees in equal instalments over a decade.
